Oh, I thought you meant modern kanji composition, like this: > [@Kanji Creation Contest Results! (Corona Themed)](https://community.wanikani.com/t/kanji-creation-contest-results-corona-themed/48083): > > Apparently there was a [contest](https://sousaku-kanji.com/) to create a new kanji this year! The prompt of the contest was: 100年後まで残る漢字を作ってみませんか or, Why don’t you create a kanji that will last for 100 years? Here’s the grand prize winner! 音：ザ 訓：はなれてすわる（ソーシャルディスタンス） It’s 座 but the people have to social distance… Other winners: [image] 音：ワ 訓：はなれてはなす（ソーシャルディスタンス） It’s 話 but we still have to social distance… [image] 音：タイ （コロコロ） 訓：ふとる（ころなぶとり） Getting fat (太) because of the coronavirus (コロ)… [image] 音：カ… You can tell what the creators were thinking when they made these, and it certainly gives me the warm fuzzies when I work out the pun that’s going on. 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://community.wanikani.com/t/original-kanji-composition/53040)._
